Ok this is kinda unpleasant so any one with a weak stomach stop reading now................

Well I have a question I have ibs with constiation and I was just wondering if any one else has stool constantly in the shoot? It somethimes huts my tailbone and just reciently I had my period and I couldn't get the tampon out because it was being blocked in by my stool and it puts pressure in there too! I don't know what to do some days I can't sit down because it feels like it coming out but Ill try to go to the washroon and it wont come out it realy sucks if any one has anything that might help please tell me I need all the help I can get thanks.

I just had a bout with constipation and irritable bowels. It was quite painful. One of the worst parts is that with the fullness, I had to urinate more due to the pressure on my bladder. I'm a male, but I can relate to the pressure you are experiencing. After 2 days of prune juice, I finally broke down and took a laxative which worked after 2 doses. I am so glad that is over.

I don't know why these things happen. I take care of myself, don't have much stress, exercise (strong abdominal muscles), and eat as well as I can. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is persistent and a real painful nightmare. And, I find it embarrassing, as well.

I'm a guy, so I might not quite understand what you are going through. But thought occured to me (maybe a dumb thought) - have you tried switching tampons to the non-insertable kinds - so that they don't get stuck?

Also, you may be able to use bile salts to help your constipation. I've written instructions on how to use it in previous posts - if you know how to look for them. If you don't find such a post, I will copy the text here for you.
